How To Use This Manual

The KR Owner’s Manual consists of two volumes, Quick Start and the Owner’s

Manual.

Please start out by reading “Before You Start Playing” (p. 18) in the Owner’s Manual (this volume). This explains how to connect the KR’s power cord and how to turn on the instrument’s power.

After turning on the KR’s power, please continue by reading Quick Start.

By trying out the various procedures while reading the Quick Start, you can easily learn how to play the KR and make use of its major functions (especially procedures that involve use of the “main buttons”).

The Owner’s Manual describes procedures, from basic operation to procedures for special applications (for example, using the KR as an accompanist and creating songs), that will help you master the KR’s many performance functions.

■Conventions Used in This Manual

This manual uses the following conventions in the interest of simpler, more concise instructions.

•Button names are enclosed in square brackets “[ ]”, as in One Touch Program [Piano] button.

•The text incorporates KR-17 screen shots and panel diagrams. Thus, there will be some portions where the information differs from that for the KR-15.

•For easier readability, some screens and colors used here may differ in part from actual screens and colors.

•On screen text is enclosed in angled brackets “< >”, as in <Exit>.

•The act of lightly contacting the Touch Screen with your finger is called “touching.”

•An asterisk (*) or a NOTE at the beginning of a paragraph indicates a note or precaution. These should not be ignored.

•(p. **) refers to pages within the manual.
